East Carroll Democrat.
few days ago when speaking to Mich
oIlsite of the admirable and able speech de-
iiyered by Hon. Frank Jonas at Monroe the
remark which heads this article was snecr-
ingly made. The words came from narrow
contracted mind, SO completely bound up in
ifs preiudices, it could not appreciate the high
aud honorable position taken by . man guid-
ed by principle, aud whose lofty intellect en-
able him to show to the simplest man, who
wouid barken to his works, the correctness OF
his position !.
I Unable to answer the reason and truth OF
the words of Mr.. Jonas and SO prejudiced that
+ lie would not believe. he satisfies himself BY
lexcIaiming ..he's q Jew.'
This simply shows to what extent many OF
| the supporters Of Gen. Nichols have allowed
their preiudiees to carry them. They can see
no good in any nlan vino takes issue Wltn u
them and are ready aud willing to join hand
| In hand and arm Id arm with the most bitter
Radical politicians III Louisiana and forget
all the evil they have done, and wrongs they
| have committed towards our State in the past.
| If they will only join in With them now and
| aid them to get the ins IN otflce out, SO tnat
/ they may become the ins.
But suppose Mr.. Jonas is a jew Does that
! ldetract one iota from bis honor as man and
/ integrity as public ofiicers
/ ne stands today in the front ranks Of Lou
| iaiana's noble sons. AS lawyer and states
! man, lie is the peer OF any man IN bis state
/ As an orator he has but few equals, while hls
/ superiors iii the whole country can be named
